Emotionally speaking, Elphias Doge is biased towards Vincent.
But now that he's a professor, he can't take sides.
"Mr. Malfoy, are you implying that Mr. Wayne violated school rules?"
"Yes, he completely disregarded the school rules." Draco looked a little aggrieved.
"He's been like this since the beginning of last year. Back then, my dad was on the School Board Member. I just wanted to catch him as soon as possible to prevent more students from being subjected to violence."
Elphias Doge recalled an old saying from the Far East:
Flies don't land on eggs without cracks.
If you're truly innocent, why focus on just one person?
"Mr. Malfoy, you think you're not wrong, are you?"
"Yes."
He roughly figured out the source of the conflict between the two sides.
The Malfoy Family was used to being high and mighty and enjoying the many conveniences that came with privileges.
Most other children, once they learn about Draco's background, will admit defeat, apologize, and beg for forgiveness.
Vincent was born into Muggle family and received Muggle education from a young age.
During the revolutionary period in the neighboring country, even the king was sent to the guillotine, and the nobles fled in disarray.
Furthermore, the Wayne family owns a gun shop.
Arriving in the Wizarding World and encountering such an old-fashioned situation, it's quite remarkable that she didn't empty her magazine like America across the Atlantic Ocean.
"Mr. Wayne, what about you?" Elphias Doge's gaze was perfectly harmonious, as if hinting at something. "Do you think you've done anything wrong?"
"No, I did nothing wrong." Vincent met his eyes frankly. "He was the son of the School Board Member at the time, and I don't think kicking me out of school was a joke."
Wow—so that's how it is!
Draco is spoiled and pampered.
Vincent was always the "other people's child" that parents talked about from a young age, and he had many things to be proud of.
It would be strange if these two didn't fight when they clashed.
"Since you both think it's right—" Elphias Doge pondered for a moment, his eyes sweeping over the two extremes.
A bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.
It may not improve the relationship, but at least we have to put on a show of it.
"How about this? This is my first time as a professor, and I need two assistants to share the workload."
Vincent and Draco both blinked.
"Mr. Wayne, Mr. Malfoy, I believe in you."
Elphias Doge's eye twitched slightly.
The gunpowder smell is too strong; if you get too close, it will definitely explode.
"Cough cough—"
He focused all the classroom's attention on himself. "I know about Gid- Lockhart, so there are no textbooks in our class today."
Hermione quickly gathered up the stack of books on her desk.
"I've spoken with Professor Dumbledore about your course progress," Elphias Doge began his lecture as if giving the two no chance to continue.
"To be honest, I'm not very satisfied." He stepped down from the podium and stopped in front of the aisle in the middle.
On the left is Daphne, and on the right is Hermione.
"While Shield Charm and Disarming Spell are useful, they are still too difficult for you at your current level."
He drew his wand. "The evil forces of darkness will not attack with weak magic. To effectively resist them, one must understand the underlying principles."
Hermione and Daphne, who were closest to each other, both felt their bodies stiffen.
"Demonstrations of Dark Magic are prohibited in class, but I will achieve the same effect through a slightly more complex spell."
A beam of pale blue light shone from Elphias Doge's wand.
"Dim Black Sky— "
The candlelight in the classroom seemed to be drawn away, no longer spreading outwards.
The slender rays of light converge at the tip of the staff, forming a small orange flower.
"Wingardium Leviosa— "
The small, glowing flowers leaned towards the ceiling, constantly absorbing more light from the classroom.
"Freeze all enemies—"
Not only Hermione and Daphne felt heavy, but Theodore, who was sitting in the corner, felt the same way.
In the gradually darkening classroom, the students' anxious little faces were visible.
As the last ray of light disappeared, only the small flowers under the ceiling remained glowing.
But its light did not spread, as if it were blocked from the outside.
"Although it's just the literal meaning, it's only the most basic of the basics."
The surrounding environment is completely dark, and your body will slowly freeze completely.
The Wand Wand-Lighting Charm won't work, the Disarming Spell has no clear target, and the Shield Charm can only defend one direction.
If Elphias Doge were to do something to the students, even Vincent would probably be unable to put up an effective resistance.
"Vampires, Nightmares, cat demons, and Zhujiuyin and other Magical Creatures can all turn daytime into nighttime within a certain range."
The little flower seemed to wither and fade.
When the light reappeared, Elphias Doge was back on the podium, his wand pointing down at the students.
"But the most terrifying are often those wizards with malicious intent, especially black wizards who have no moral principles."
Neville, who was next to Vincent, was terrified.
The tip of the cane was pointed directly at him, and he was so frightened that he dared not move.
"Next, I'm going to demonstrate." Elphias Doge smiled and put away his wand. "Please welcome my two assistants up here."
Draco glared at Vincent, who had a strange smile on his face.
Amidst enthusiastic applause from the Little Lions, the two walked onto the stage one after the other.
"Who is confident that they can undo the Light-Extinguishing Curse I just used?"
"I have it, Professor Elphias Doge."
Dorjee nodded to Vincent. "Mr. Wayne, is there anything else you need to prepare?"
"Please give me some time." Vincent took off his school robe and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt underneath.
He held his wand, spread his arms, and did some warm-up exercises.
Draco's eyelids twitched wildly across from him.
"Don't worry, Mr. Malfoy," Elphias Doge approached him. "In the darkness, there's a spell that can help you..."
The Clear-Sight Charm is a very ancient spell, a spell that allows one to see outlines in the dark.
It wasn't difficult to learn, but it was gradually forgotten by wizards because of the emergence of better wand Wand-Lighting Charm.
"I'm ready." Vincent held the Alder Wand to his chest.
"Have you memorized it?" Draco nodded, Elphias Doge stepped down from the podium and went back to the aisle.
"Do not use evil curses; please follow the principle of friendly communication."
Vincent's eyes were extremely kind, at least not as fierce as the one opposite him.
"Let's begin."
"Dim Black Sky— " The little flower on the tip of the Alder Wand had just appeared when it floated toward the ceiling it was pointing to.
"A wonderful Nonverbal spells!" Elphias Doge waved his wand forward, limiting the range of light that could be drawn.
Draco grinned maliciously and chanted the incantation before it went completely dark. "Om Shinen Rinna!"
He could clearly see Vincent's hand gesture for the Full Body-Bind Curse.
That face that I hate will soon be unable to smile anymore.
